- Formulation Guideline
Carnauba EC-80 can add film thickness and boost water resistance in some formulas. It has a non-greasy feel that will give the final product a pleasant slip. Formulators should consider EC-80 over carnauba in emulsions to eliminate the graininess that can happen. Applications include sunscreens, skin care, hair care and color cosmetics.
